AK-103 is the BEAST among the Kalashnikov family of rifles, but before diving into that.. here’s a brief history of its origins. AK-103 is the fourth generation of the AK (Avtomat Kalashnikova) gas-operated assault rifles designed by Russian small-arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov—a Soviet and later, a Russian lieutenant-general—under the AK-100 series in 1994, based upon […]
